Welcome to the Ohio Metal Forms Blog!
We’re thrilled to kick off our blog by sharing what makes us a trusted name in concrete flatwork solutions. Based right here in Sandusky, Ohio, we’re dedicated to crafting forms that blend durability, precision, and innovation. For our first post, let’s explore three pillars of our success: what we make, how we make it, and why it matters to you.
1. Our Core Products: Built to Last
At Ohio Metal Forms, we specialize in heavy-duty concrete flatwork forms engineered for professionals and ambitious DIYers alike. Whether you’re pouring a driveway, patio, or industrial floor, our products are designed to deliver unmatched performance:
Straight & Flexible Flatwork Forms:
Material: Made from US Domestic A36 Steel for unbeatable strength.
Key Features:
Heavy-Duty Wedge Pockets: Lock forms securely in place, even under pressure.
12GA Lightweight Channel: Easy to handle without sacrificing durability.
Custom Lengths: Need a unique size? We’ll tailor forms to your project’s specs.
Why steel? Unlike plastic, steel resists warping, cracking, and wear—saving you time and money over countless pours.
2. Precision Manufacturing: The Heart of Our Steel Concrete forms
Every Ohio Metal Form starts in our Sandusky facility, where cutting-edge technology meets Midwest craftsmanship:
CNC Laser Cutting: Ensures every component is cut to exact measurements.
Press Brake Bending: Creates uniform, repeatable angles for consistency in every form.
This precision isn’t just about machinery—it’s about people. Our team combines decades of experience with a commitment to innovation, partnering with local experts like Ahner Industrial (a fellow Sandusky manufacturer) to source top-tier tools and materials. The result? Forms that fit perfectly, pour after pour.
3. Solving Your Concrete Challenges
We know contractors and builders face tight deadlines and tight budgets. That’s why we’ve designed our forms—and services—to make your job easier:
Steel vs. Plastic:
Plastic forms may seem cheaper upfront, but they crack under pressure and sun exposure. Our steel concrete forms last for years, not seasons.
Bulk Orders & Fast Shipping:
Need 100 forms by next week? We’ll streamline production and shipping to keep your project on track.
At Ohio Metal Forms, we’re not just selling tools—we’re building partnerships. Whether you’re working on a backyard patio or a million-square-foot warehouse, we’re here to provide the precision and reliability you need.
